The 1962 book, Fifty Years of X-Ray Diffraction, dedicated to the International Union of Crystallography on the occasion of the commemoration meeting in Munich, July 1962, by P.P. Ewald (editor), and numerous crystallographers has been digitized and put on the web as a free site by the ICU.

A number of publications have recently appeared in which attempts have been made to determine the reproducibility of tandem mass spectra libraries. For several decades libraries of EI spectra have been used successfully for compound identification, especially from GC-MS data, while, in contrast, many difficulties seem to be present in trying to achieve the same success for tandem mass spectrometry data. This short essay attempts to answer the question of why this difference should occur, what is it about...

In this free chapter from "Protein Microarray Technology" Dev Kambhampati focuses on the driving forces that are causing a revolution in the field of protein biomolecular interactions and the corresponding microarray screening tools that are used for extracting their expression behavior.

In this free chapter from "Chemometrics: Data Analysis for the Laboratory and Chemical Plant" Richard Brereton outlines why analytical scientists confronted with mountains of data should be interested in chemometrics.
